BREAKING NEWS Jake Paul dominates Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. as YouTuber-turned-boxer enjoys winning return to boxing
Jake Paul secured another win over another iconic boxing name with a unanimous points victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on Saturday night.
Chavez Jr. is the son and namesake of one of boxing's greatest ever fighters but the 39-year-old barely laid a glove on Paul for the first half of the fight.
Instead, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul dominated his opponent for long periods as boos rang out in Anaheim, California.
Chavez Jr. showed flashes of life in the closing rounds but he was powerless to prevent Paul from improving his professional record to 12-1.
'The Problem Child' withstood a messy late barrage to keep alive his hopes of landing fights with some of boxing's biggest names.
Paul, who was fighting for the first time since his controversial clash with Mike Tyson, won by scores of 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92.

John Travolta transforms into Grease character Danny Zuko for sing-along event
John Travolta gave fans the 'chills' when he made a surprise appearance at a Grease sing-along in Los Angeles on Friday night. The actor, 71, stepped back in time to reprise his role as Danny Zuko from the 1978 hit musical. She shared on social media: 'Tonight at the Hollywood Bowl, for the first time I surprised everyone at the Grease sing-along and dressed up as Danny Zuko.' Go, greased lightnin': He reprised his role as Danny Zuko from the 1978 hit musical He added: 'No one knew. Not even the cast. Thank you for a great evening.' He adopted his character's swagger as he stepped on stage wearing dark jeans, a tight black T-shirt, and a black leather jacket. The actor, who has been sporting a shaved head, wore a wig styled into a greaser-friendly ducktail, along with a scruffy beard. He then joined Grease cast members Didi Conn, Barry Pearl, Michael Tucci, Kelly Ward, and director Randal Kleiser on stage. Taking the microphone, Travolta delivered some of his iconic lines from the moment Danny reunites with his Summer Nights sweetheart Sandy (played by the late Olivia Newton-John) on the first day of school at Rydell High. 'I thought you were going back to Australia!' and then remembering he was the big man on campus, dropped into the nonchalant, 'that's cool, that's cool, that's cool baby,' I'm rockin' and rollin' and whatnot.' He then led the cast and audience in a chant of 'A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom!' Standing in front of a big screen, he then told the crowd, 'Enjoy the show. We love you!'

Soccer culture clash at Club World Cup as American woman reports Argentine fans to cops over 'throwing beer and shoving' - but they say SHE was wrong
A clash of cultures erupted at Seattle's Lumen Field during the Club World Cup as an American woman reported a group of Argentine fans to stadium staff and police. The tensions occurred during Inter Milan 's 2-0 victory over River Plate earlier in the week - a match that was heated on the pitch as well, with the Buenos Aires side receiving two red cards and six booking issued in total. The woman described being surrounded by River fans who refused to respect assigned seating and crowded into her section in raucous fashion. She explained on social media that the situation turned physical when she confronted the fans, claiming they threw beer on her and shoved her boyfriend away. She called security, and eventually local police arrived to intervene. The woman could be heard screaming in a video uploaded on TikTok: 'This is our seat, we paid for the seat.' One of the River fans responded: 'We paid too,' before the American woman demanded they showed their tickets. @_jung_kook_wifey We approach them with our tickets in our hand and they're like 'there's no assigned seats' like we don't go to almost every Sounder game and know the drill. They got aggressive real quick throwing beer and shoving my bf and pulling my hair. #ClubWorldCup ♬ original sound - lou ❀𓇼𓏲☘︎ River Plate fans ignored ticket allocations and sat in her set, leading to a heated confrontation The woman alleged that beer was thrown on her hair and that her boyfriend was shoved away The River fan then said: 'You can sit anywhere, it doesn't matter [about] your ticket,' much to the woman's frustration, who insisted again: 'It does. This is our seat, we paid for the seat.' In South American football culture, supporters often cluster together and ignore seat assignments on their tickets. The woman recognised this, but argued that these norms do not override the fact she paid for a specific seat. She wrote on TikTok: 'I can support futbol culture but that does not mean disregarding the stadium's rules or jurisdiction. 'This was not a general admission event! Otherwise, tickets would have been priced THE SAME. 'Choosing to ignore assigned seating - and worse, attempting to physically intimidate or assault others out of their PAID spaces - is not only entitled, it's unlawful. 'You cannot assault your way into getting what you want just because you are not 'used to the customs set in place.' However, many fans under the woman's video did not extend any sympathy, arguing she should have been prepared for a culture clash before buying her tickets. The woman went on to accuse one fan of swearing and smoking a cigarette in the ground One fan commented: 'In South America your ticket gets you into the stands and no seat allocation as no one sits down anyway. The seats are a free for fall, if you come late. You lose out. So happy Americans are getting a taste of real football.' Another wrote: 'That's how it works in ultras sector. You should know that before you buy tickets.' A third said: 'To be fair in South America and many countries, seat allocations don't matter. You sit where there's space.' The woman shared more details of the incident in another slideshow on TikTok, where she went on to reveal that one man was also swearing at her and smoking a cigarette in the ground.

'It's not normal' - how Chelsea coped with the stoppage
"This is not football."The words of Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca when asked about how the one-hour-53-minute stoppage impacted their Club World Cup last-16 tie against defenders Marc Cucurella, Levi Colwill and Tosin Adarabioyo were furious when pulled off the pitch - as was Maresca - having been on course to win with only five minutes of normal time re-entering the operations and dressing room area, players took turns to cycle on exercise bikes to keep their muscles warm and did kick-ups to stay fresh at the Bank of America Stadium in explained the mood and why it impacted performance, adding: "So two hours inside - people speak with the family outside [to check] if they were good with the security. People eating, laughing, talking on their mobiles. It was two hours. That's why I said it's not football."Captain Reece James added: "It was quite disruptive when you're in the flow of the game. Lots of substitutions - trying to get warm and stay warm. It was difficult and the climate was very hot and humid."A senior Chelsea official admitted to confusion and relief around the senior staff after the match."You cannot be inside for two hours. It is something completely new," Maresca said."I can understand that for security reasons you suspend the game. But if you suspend six, seven games that means that probably is not the right place to do this competition."This is a fantastic competition. The Club World Cup is top; we are happy to be in the last eight."It's not normal to suspend a game. In a World Cup, how many games are suspended? Probably zero. In Europe, how many games? Zero."
